Also, nominate your choice for tomorrow's game! The top nominated game will be the game we rate tomorrow. We can also rate eShop games. I've given a few games (the ones with the top communities on Miiverse) honorary nominations to encourage participation.

Did you factor out outliers or include them? You might want to in include the median as well to factor out the 0-1 outliers.

I did include outliers, as this is largely subjective and I can't easily have anyone prove that they have played the game or truly believe in their excessively low score, but it seems that participation is high enough to largely negate this. I am adding a disclaimer though, and from now on, I will include the median as well. (I will include Nintendo Land's tomorrow, which is 8.)---Pokemon White FC - 3225 1582 0350

Technically, outliers are defined as 1.5 times the standard deviation away from the mean in either direction. So it doesn't matter what people's opinions are. If they have an extreme opinion in either direction it can be excluded because it is just so different from the true population average.

Plus a negative outlier can be FAR more extreme than a positive one considering the mean will be somewhere between 6 and 9 for the games you will examine.

That said, if you don't know how to calculate the standard deviation, or don't have the time to, I would be happy to if you could send me or post the raw data.
